Local oestrogen therapy useful in women of any age
Older patients benefit too: local oestrogen therapy for vaginal atrophy can start before or after age 60
Treatment with low-dose local oestrogen therapy to improve symptoms of vaginal atrophy has benefits for women before or after age 60, a study shows.
Canadian researchers carried out a post-hoc analysis of a randomised, placebo-controlled trial in the US and Canada which treated 205 postmenopausal women ages 45 and over with 10mcg vaginal oestrogen therapy for one year.
